Shabby Chic Summer Treats

Aloha Sprinklerinos,

Give me a wooden dresser and I'll sand and distress it, give me a pretty glass plate and I'll fill it with candles, drop me off at a craft fair and I'm in heaven. I am a through and through shabby chic addict.

I adore 'prettying' things up and just taking ordinary objects and making them quaint. You might call it twee, but it floats my boat and lights my fire. Oh yeah.

I thought I would share a cute little idea with you that I have been doing a lot lately. Also, it's free- what more could you want?

It's not a big deal, but it's fun, free and makes us smile. These are also great if you have little ones coming over as they seem to think it very novel indeed to have a drink out of a jam jar. I'm totally with them on that one, haha.

Does this little idea tickle your pickle?

Toodlepip!

Love this idea! It all looks so cute especially with those adorable straws!I've been doing this (sans cute straws sadly) because I am addicted to juicing my fruit and veg and it's easy to just pack it and take it in my car rather than bring a mug and spill carrot juice all over myself.

Please keep doing these ideas as they really brighten up a rainy day with how easy they are to do! xx

Louise what a fab & simple idea. I'll be moving out this time next year & trying to build up a little collection of bits & bobs so the house isn't completely empty. I have now added empty jam jars to my long list of things to take with me :)

Something along the lines of this, is using the baby jam jars you can get for putting condiments in at dinner parties etc. Its just so much cuter than having the huge branded bottle sat on the table, plus its less messy!

Super idea! I like to use old jars too! I use them to hold tea-light candles for summer garden parties. You can keep them as they are or you can get glass paint, gems and other bits & bobs from craft shops to decorate them. You can make them really cute! Its fun and easy to do too!

Love this! We had a drinks rep come into a pub I used to work in to pitch to us about stocking their whiskey, they left all their jars behind with their cute logo on, I took them all and now I keep tealights in it! I do love jars!!x

I love this idea I may have to steal it for my nephews birthday which is soon, I think he would love it, not to mention my sister she's always looking for new little things to do and this one is free so I think it's a Fab idea. :-D

Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with? I'm going to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a tough time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
